Hi, I'm George 👋

I'm George Shao, a software developer based in Toronto. I'm in my 3rd year at the University of Waterloo studying Computer Science.

I've worked at Drop and ETHGlobal, and I'll be joining X (Twitter) in Winter 2025.

I'm currently seeking Fall 2025 internships.

Below are some Engineering articles I've written about my work.
